Band 6 Regional Development Officer

Your new company
You will be joining a large, public-sector organisation as a Regional Development Officer.

Your new role
The role will mainly centre around two projects, which will require assessment of a patient entitlement in particular circumstances using the new processes.
This will include monitoring progress and updating our standard operating procedures. You will work as part of a specialist team responsible for shaping and delivering guidance on access to healthcare services. This is a varied role combining project management, policy development and stakeholder engagement.
You will support the planning and delivery of complex projects, ensuring outputs are delivered to agreed timelines and quality standards. The role involves researching and interpreting legislation, developing procedures and compliance processes, and producing clear guidance and training materials for staff. You will also contribute to the design and delivery of training sessions and act as a key liaison point with external bodies.
In addition, you will play a role in monitoring implementation of regulatory requirements, producing reports and briefings for senior stakeholders, and supporting the supervision of support staff where required. The post offers exposure to cross-organisational working and the opportunity to influence region-wide service delivery.

What you'll need to succeed
To be successful in this role, you will demonstrate:

• Experience of supervising or supporting staff, ideally for at least one year
• A degree or relevant professional qualification with a minimum of two years' relevant experience, or significant equivalent experience in a similar development or governance-focused role
• Experience contributing to service reviews, investigations, or the development and implementation of operational guidance linked to legislative or regulatory requirements
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret complex information and translate it into practical guidance
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience preparing reports, briefings or presentations
• Confidence working to tight deadlines, both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team
• Good working knowledge of standard IT systems, particularly Microsoft Office
• The ability to build effective working relationships with a wide range of stakeholders

Experience working with entitlement assessments, public-sector regulation, healthcare access, or social security-related decision-making would be advantageous but is not essential.

What you'll get in return

• Immediate opportunity
• £19.78 per hour
• Temporary opportunity until 30/09/26
• Standard 37.5-hour working week
